Question

I’ve been having issues where JSTL c:if does not seem to be working correctly.. so I tested it with the following statement…

<c:if="${1 == 2}">
   1 is equal to 2
</c:if>

And it is outputting “1 is equal to 2″…

Is there something I’m missing here?

EDIT: found the issue and it was me being silly.. the problem was I’d forgot to include the jstl core tag library in the page

Answer 1

The EL expression with the condition has to be a value of the test attribute.

<c:if test="${1 == 2}">
   1 is equal to 2
</c:if>
